FFF: secret ingredient

The secret ingredient in my cookies was sooooooooooo supertasty, I thought it deserved a whole entire post of its own. Can you guess what it is?



I'll be back later to tell you all about it...

* * * LATER * * *

Congratulations Ollie, Phoebe/the Oregon 5, Ann, Frodo, Molly & Cleo - you totally guessed right. The superspecial secret ingredient was a hot dog. A Nathan's famous-since-1916, bigger-than-the-bun, skinless hot dog.

Uhm. Can you say ridiculously tasty??

I can. Even with a mouth full of Nathan's.

I guess my human was [quote] horrified by the bacon (and its grease) and thought hot dogs were like bacon. Only less gross. And in a tube. She's not very good at meat and kinda got the like-bacon part wrong because I guess bacon is made from pork and Nathan's hot dogs are made from beef. But whatever. Nathan's are AMAZING and make cookies taste AMAZING.

One other thing my human got wrong is how to use a hot dog to make cookies. She thought it'd be OK to just throw them in the choppy-thing with everything else.

Bad idea.

So. If you do convince your human to put hot dogs in your cookies, make sure they put the hot dogs in the choppy-thing and smush them up first. Or cut them up small, and then put them in the choppy thing. Trust me. There will be much less swearing and fewer eeeeew!! gross!!-es.

Don't try this at home.

Oh. In case you're wondering, the cookies taste just as ridiculous as that hot dog I inhaled in the video (good call, SA pugs). My human is still afraid of actual recipes, but here's how she made my cookies:

Nathan Cookies

1 scoop(ish)* oat flour
1 scoop(ish) normal flour
1 handful oats
2 hot dogs (any kind, but Nathan's ingredients are less scary)
1 almost-full 11 oz. bottle of carrot juice
A few shakes of garlic powder**

Put everything but the carrot juice in a choppy thing and chop it a few times. Learn from our mistake: chop the hot dogs first! Then add carrot juice (or some kind of liquid) a little at a time and chop some more. Stop when you get something doughy looking. Our dough was very thick and sticky. Think: spackle.

Cover your hands and table with flour. Have fun trying to get the spackle-dough out of the choppy thing. Make the spackle-dough into two balls. Roll one ball out flat (freeze the other for later). Cut into shapes or squares, or shape squares into balls for easy swallowing.

Put scary tinfoil on a baking sheet. Put your cookie shapes on the scary tinfoil and stick everything into a hot oven. Take them out before they turn too brown.
Let cool before inhaling.

Notes:

* 1 scoop equals about 1 1/2 cups. Ish.

** garlic is optional. My human added it to keep the cookies from making her hands smell like hot dogs. She is weird.
